Description of the invention (Q) (Please read the notes on the back before filling in this page) Sub-word segmentation processing, where this segmentation processing is to compare the sub-string at the beginning of a Chinese query sentence with the content in the dictionary to obtain Chinese The query string. The parsing program 406 is connected to the word segmentation program 404 as a parsing process for the Chinese query sentence processed by the word segmentation, and this parsing process is a word string obtained after parsing the word segmentation process and gives the word string part of speech. There are many techniques for making analysis programs. The present invention uses a Define Clause Grammar (referred to as DCG). The semantic interpretation program 408 is connected with the analysis program 406 to analyze and analyze the Chinese query sentence processed. This semantic interpretation process is based on the part-of-speech obtained by the Chinese query sentence after being processed by the analysis program 406, and the Chinese query sentence is expressed as A deep grammatical structure.

Description of Invention (U) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Structure "is the main operation. After the two characteristic structures A and B are combined and operated, the result is the smallest characteristic structure that can cover A and B. If this characteristic structure does not exist, the union operation fails. The deep grammatical structure produced by the semantic interpretation process is four parts: topic '', `` domain knowledge '', ``, '', type, and `` range ''. . Here is an example to explain the process of a Chinese query sentence processed by word segmentation, parsing, and Swiss interpretation. If a Chinese query sentence is entered as `` I want to know the financial status of the company '', in the word segmentation processing, this sentence will be segmented into a Chinese query sentence according to long-term rules, I ,,, `` know The company's financial situation ''. These substrings are analyzed and processed to obtain the sentence structure in DCG form, Type ·· blank; Subj ·· me; AdvP ·· blank; VP: Know + (company, financial status), you can know the part of speech of the Chinese query sentence entered . Then this sentence structure is processed by semantic interpretation to obtain a deep grammatical structure ’as topi c: I; domain: I; type: know; range: (company, financial status). Please refer to Figure 10 for more examples to learn the deep grammatical structure of these Chinese query sentences.
